The Chinese Tea Company Edit

This shop is a little hard to find, tucked away in the Portobello Green arcade, at the unpopular end of Portobello market, but it is worth the visit. The place is tiny, but packed full of wonderful teas from China, from white to Pu’erh. There is a good selection of high quality Chinese teaware and accessories, and you can buy small samples of a good number of their teas. The lovely lady that owns the shop is very kind and knowledgable, and I believe that there are tastings available (I didn’t have time to stop for a tasting, I’m afraid). The tea and teaware that I bought there were all fantastic – I highly recommend it!
